[PATCH] ACPI: Fix build errors due objects compiled unconditionally

From: Javier Martinez Canillas
Date: Fri Nov 20 2015 - 12:35:20 EST


If the CONFIG_ACPI Kconfig symbol is not enabled and a partial build is
attempted, compile errors will happen due missing types and identifiers.

This can be easily reproduced with the following commands:

$ export CROSS_COMPILE="arm-linux-gnueabihf-" ARCH=arm
$ make allmodconfig
$ make M=drivers/acpi/
CC drivers/acpi//tables.o
drivers/acpi//tables.c:235:3: warning: 'struct acpi_subtable_proc' declared inside parameter list
unsigned int max_entries)
^
drivers/acpi//tables.c:235:3: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
drivers/acpi//tables.c: In function 'acpi_parse_entries_array':
drivers/acpi//tables.c:269:4: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct acpi_subtable_proc'
...
scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target 'drivers/acpi//tables.o' failed
make[1]: *** [drivers/acpi//tables.o] Error 1
Makefile:1401: recipe for target '_module_drivers/acpi/' failed
make: *** [_module_drivers/acpi/] Error 2

This is because objects are tried to be built unconditionally even when
CONFIG_ACPI is not enabled. This is usually not a problem since arches'
Kconfig sources drivers/acpi/Kconfig directly and also selects ACPI but
the Makefile should conditionally build the objects as well to prevent
these build errors.

Hello,

I posted this patch first as an RFC more than a month ago [0]
and got no feedback, so I'm resending without the RFC tag.

Best regards,
Javier
